Exeter Library. Early children's books. Test listing.

A

Note: This listing is generated from an Excel spreadsheet which is in the course of development prior to the implementation of an on-line catalogue to cover all the heritage collections in Exeter Library. There are currently separate listings in a range of formats for the different collections. The children's book collection was gathered over time from a variety of sources. Titles originating prior to 1850 were catalogued by Marjorie Moon and this listing includes records derived from that catalogue together with most of her annotations. It also includes items from a variety of other listings which require much editing, the removal of duplicates and checking against stock to add more detail to many records. The catalogue is arranged by author or title for anonymous works, but it is possible to use the "Find" function to search by keyword for authors, titles, or publishers.
